I fully support this. We need at least
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142669354424905&w=2 for this to work
properly, which I am planning to post soon.
I am not sure the RO remount issues in ext4 seen in the previous round
of the similar change have been addressed already.
So it might be safer to route this separately from the previous OOM
enahancements.
